Caricature with Mola Protecting Himself from a Man Holding a Viper 

This drawing, executed in pen and brown ink by Italian artist Pier Francesco Mola, depicts a caricature of a man with a large wig protecting himself from a viper held by another man. The exaggerated features of the figures and the dramatic pose contribute to the humorous tone of the artwork, suggesting that Mola intended to create a playful and satirical piece. The drawing is a testament to Mola's ability to capture both the beauty and the absurdity of human nature, and it serves as a reminder of the enduring power of caricature as a form of art.
